My New Love For Chandeliers

So since I made a pair of chandelier earrings at my class, I've really started to love how easy it is to make them look good.  These are the ones I've made since:


These are made with purple crackle glass beads and some 3mm glass pearls.  My lighting doesn't do them justice, because they can sparkle in the right light.  I got complimented on them by the nurse when I wore them to the doctor's office today.


These are made with plastic (I KNOWWWW, I said I don't like using plastic, but the flowers were too cute) and glass beads.  I was more in love with the black findings needed for these.  I wore these to work and everyone complimented them.  It feels good to know people like your stuff.

Jewellery-Making Class, Day 2

Day 2 of our class, and we were ahead of schedule, so we jumped ahead to making a chain bracelet.  The teacher brought a stash of beads that we got to choose from and make our own design with.  This is what I made.


The beads were glass and plastic, the latter of which I'm not keen on using in the future, but the bracelet came out looking nice.  The most time-consuming part was making the loops in the wire pins, but it was worth it, I think.

EDIT:

I also made some earrings with matching beads:
